I am almost 3 months out and I am having to smack my hands. I havent been following the rules very well lately. I have been eating the normal stuff. Not really eating bad things like chips or doughnuts, but i have been eating some breads and noodles and such. I need to get back to the proteins. I have still been losing but not as fast as I want to, so I am re-dedicating myself to eating protein first. I have been drinking my shake for breakfast and lunch, and eating protein for dinner. It is so much easier to do it now of course since having such a tiny tummy, but I need to stay on track! Bad habits die hard, but I am trying to kill them this time! Is there anyone else out there that needs to re-pledge themselves to this new way of life?

Me! I got back on track this past Saturday. Ice cream was what got me side tracked. Doing much better now!

Nothing wrong with a treat once in awhile. I have Peanut Butter and crackers and lord knows a couple of pieces of candy for Halloween.

My dietician said to have real food Breakfast, lunch and dinner - I am ending third month postop. He said use Protein Drinks and bars for the mid morning and mid afternoon Snacks but to eat real food for the three meals - 1/4 Protein, 1/4 vegetable, 1/4 fruit, 1/4 carbohydrates.

So, there is nothing wrong with Pasta or potato with dinner, you need you carbs to burn energy instead of protein and muscle.

i know, this 2 shakes a day is to kick start my ketosis. i need to get back in it since i know i have had to many carbs lately.

Me me me!!!! I got way off track this past week . I was sleeved 8/26 and have only lost 30 pounds. I need to.get back on track and kick up the weight loss!

i love how you say only lost 30 pounds! that is a great weight loss. you are doing good. i went back and checked out my weight loss totals for after surgery and i realized something.....when i ate more of the "regular" food i lost more weight. while i was just eating and drinking protein i only lost 4 pounds for that month. so i guess i shouldnt freak out about it that much. i had my weight messured to see how much fat i have lost vs muscle. since my journey began i have only lost 6.5 pounds of muscle vs. 80.5 pounds of fat.....i'l take that. i would like to lose no muscle but i hear it is impossible not to lose muscle while you are losing fat. oh well
